Dumping Everything for new

So, I just accepted a job offer about 1000 miles away, more money and better climate.

I have been toying with selling all my guitars and buying something different for some time. Since I'll be moving so far away I was thinking this would be a good opportunity to do that.

I wanted to know if anyone else has ever sold all there guitars for new, and if they ever had any regrets doing so?

I never have... but I've heard stories of people who sell stuff they like kicking themselves. But I guess that's when they buy really expensive of boutique instruments and sell them.

If you plan what you're going to get it shouldn't be a problem.

i would never sell my guitars! i'm way too attached to them.

I'm going to keep my Acoustic(I have never found another guitar any price that sounds this good). This moving this is going to be rough. I start in 3 weeks but i also have a family who wants to finish up with school before moving, and a house to sell.

Good luck with everything, and let us know how things are going.

It's often a good idea to leave 'valuables' with relatives or close friends 'till you've completed the move. Insurance is no consolation when something you really love goes missing.
Good luck!

My thing is I'm not all that attached to any of them anymore. They are all cheap under $300 guitars so they are also not too valuable.

I put every thing on craigslist last night and I've already gotten some interest.

congrats on the new job telecrater. which city you end up in? and moving is gonna be rough that always sucks. but i think you might enjoy starting over from scratch on your collection.

Thanks Goodtunes!!! I heading to San Antonio, I live in Des Moines Iowa now and till be trucking 1000 miles south. I'm pretty excited about this new adventure, and the substantial pay increase. :)

I have an uncle in San Antonio.
